67 (Crew Cab) C30
 

Here is my Build thread.
The first Picture is of my Grandpa's truck.
I loved riding in that truck.
These are some of the reasons why
I decided to build this Truck.
My Daddy also bought a 67 long bed
that I drove when I was 10 or 11 years old.

I will add to this part of the Story in the future.
So I'm building a 1 Ton Chevrolet
Crew Cab with small back window
with Suburban doors.

Re: 67 (Crew Cab) C30
 

Looks like a good start, what are you doing for the engine?

Re: 67 (Crew Cab) C30
 

My Engine of choice currently is a SBC 350 crate engine.

Re: 67 (Crew Cab) C30
 

Cool project but I think The RocknRod was trying to point you to the 67-72 area since your posting in the 60-66 one at moment.

Re: 67 (Crew Cab) C30
 

Thanks
I noticed that after my 2nd post of some pics.
Maybe one of the moderators will move it for me.

Re: 67 (Crew Cab) C30
 

I'm working on the cab today.
I got a good helper.

Re: 67 (Crew Cab) C30
 

Looking good man. I loved my 70 c30 dump truck. I sold it to my buddy so I get to drive it every once and I while.

It looks like you got a pile of work ahead of you. What are the plans of making it a quad cab. Find another cab or suburban to carve up. There's a couple suburbans were I'm at for fairly cheap they would of worked great for your project.

Re: 67 (Crew Cab) C30
 

Looks like a solid start! Keep up the good work. :metal:

Re: 67 (Crew Cab) C30
 

Thanks.

Re: 67 (Crew Cab) C30
 

I got Suburban doors a b-pillars from Richard2717
I will replace the whole front floor pan .
Then cut the cab and add rear floor
and use sheetmetal from another cab for the roof.
I may have a Suburban showing up at Christmas ��

Re: 67 (Crew Cab) C30
 

Hey Getter-Done, Cool project. looking forward to more photos of your progress. Would it be easier or even possible to cut a suburban body rather than extend a pickup cab? I have never attempted a project like yours so I am just wondering if that is an option.

Re: 67 (Crew Cab) C30
 

Thanks 62bagger
Yes it can be done either way.
Several guys on here Have Great build threads
that have done the 2 cab option and also the suburban body.
Randy and Trevor was the two builds that
was my deciding factor for me to go with a crew cab
instead of my original plan of a flatbed truck.
I have also been studying a few other members that have built
the crew-cab also.
I will make my decision if I drag that Suburban home
after Christmas.

Re: 67 (Crew Cab) C30
 

Subscribe, because I need answer. Lol. I'm having a hard time getting exact information about the frame .

Re: 67 (Crew Cab) C30
 

that's ahelluva flatbed! im subbing for sure. id like to see a4 door 67 small window cab.

Re: 67 (Crew Cab) C30
 

Which frame are you referring too?
My frame is the 157".

Re: 67 (Crew Cab) C30
 

Thanks Michael
I know my plans will change along the way.
Both cabs I have are small window.
So my plan is Crew Cab with Suburban doors,
cab lights and small back window.
The rear door will have the same radius (curve)
at the top of the door as the truck door.
A fleet-side bed with Step-side fenders attached
because I plan to keep the dual wheel rear axle.

Re: 67 (Crew Cab) C30
 

I have been taking pictures for awhile.
So I will post those to get up to my
current point of the build as I go.
Here is the pics. of the donor bed
for my Dually fenders.

Attachment 1842833

Re: 67 (Crew Cab) C30
 

I don't think I explained in my build how I made the driver side B pillar from a donor passenger one which I think I bought from Richard too.
Its super easy and is almost identical to the passenger side after cutting and rewelding. Do you remember if I posted about it?
Basically I cut the pillar in about 5 sections and flipped them over and to the left then rewelded them together, the 5 sections are all straight when cut and then when flipped they make a mirror image.
Inside the B pillar is a hing reinforcing plate, I did the same with it but cut it in 3 section I think.
The hinges I just flipped over and drilled one new hole on the door side to match my million piece door.

If I didn't post about it, I can do it and number the sections with pictures.
The upper half (door frame section) of the B pillar I just used as is, the seam is in the front vs the rear on the other side.

Just ask if you have any questions about what I did or what I might have done differently.

Sounds like you have a great plan and a good start.

Re: 67 (Crew Cab) C30
 

Randy, I don't think you did post it and I would like to see it as well.

Re: 67 (Crew Cab) C30
 

Randy
Thanks for that info.
I studied your build extensively
for quite awhile.
I don't remember those details
in your build.
I have a back log of pics now of stuff
That I have been mocking up.
So I can understand how it wasn't.
I can almost picture the reverse flip now.
But like they say your pics would be worth a million words.
Thanks
Dwayne

Re: 67 (Crew Cab) C30
 

I'm almost positive I didn't post it, I will take some pics and number the pieces with a marker and post up on my thread, I will try to do that this weekend.

Re: 67 (Crew Cab) C30
 

Thanks Randy
That will help A lot.
I'm Going to start working on a jig
this weekend for those letters on the hood .
It is going to be a coin toss for me
when it comes time to put the hood on.
Do I use Original hood or Hood Scoop Repop :metal:?
So I could use the jig if I go that route.
I already have some angles and (Ruff) blueprints drew up.

Dwayne

Re: 67 (Crew Cab) C30
 

I guess i will order the hood letters then, looks like i will need them soon...

Re: 67 (Crew Cab) C30
 

The center jig is the (time consuming one).
Once the holes are drilled in the center with this jig the two side jigs will line up. The side jigs are Simple.

Re: 67 (Crew Cab) C30
 

I got some time to work on bracing the cab
for replacing the whole floor.
I made brackets to utilize the bolt holes for dash
and gas tank mounting bolt holes.

Re: 67 (Crew Cab) C30
 

I drove to Cleveland ,Tn. today and
purchased a Coach Controls Coupe23B long
wiring package. Thanks to member halfstep
for bringing this business to my attention.
Met with the owner of the company.
(He has exp. with NASA,Race cars, Old cars and etc.)
Spoke with him about my build and talked about
the package that would be best for my Build.
For the people that are staying (Factory-Style)
there is other company's that have options
that are more suited for that type of build.
Maybe my next build will be more (original).
I have been studying the wiring of our trucks.
I even made a big copy of wiring diagram
that is saved in the FAQ .
(3rd picture at the bottom.)
He was impressed when I explained to him
how easy it was to find this type of info and
the knowledge base of this Forum.
When He showed his Wiring Schematic
I knew that was a good plan for my Build.
(1st picture is front & 2nd is the back )
This wiring diagram is the layout of his kit.
It is very easy to understand.
I wanted this kit now so I can build
my cab to pick the best location.

A little update.
These are pictures of Us working on getting the old
floor-pan removed.
My Hired hand was in the Middle of Things.
She will show up in the next post.

This is where I marked out maximum
to cut for cab corner patches.
